Vigilance above all: how to protect yourself from fraudsters in the digital age
To protect yourself from fraud, you should adhere to the principle of «trust no one without checking». This will help to protect yourself in today's threatening world. The principle of «Zero trust» implies protection at all levels of interaction, be it online or offline communication.
The Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Tatarstan reminds about important security rules:
1. Do not use simple passwords. The more complex the password, the harder it is to crack.
2. Ask a lot of questions. Any suspicious situations require clarifying details.
3. Verify everything. Don't hesitate to ask for confirmation of information.
4. Trust your intuition. If doubts arise, it is better to be reassured.
5. Be careful with official calls and messages. Always verify the source.
6. Install apps only from official stores like Rustore and Google Play.
7. Never give CVV and PIN codes to unauthorized persons.
8. Always check the links to official websites before downloading any apps.
9. At the slightest suspicion of card compromise, block the card immediately.
Be vigilant!
